You sure you should've come then?
(Jill is a bartender) Jill was in bad mood yesterday and the boss consented to her staying at home today. But she chooses to come to work this evening all the same. When she appears in the bar, the following dialogue takes place:
Jill: Good evening.
Gillian (her workmate): Are you okay?
Jill: I feel like s**t.
Gillian: You sure you should've come then? You are in all the right to stay at home.
I don't understand why "should've" is used here. Could you explain?
Thank you dear teachers.
